N - VE is a Cambridgeshire issued plate and issued March to November 1955. Although possible, it is unlikely that this is an age-related plate and more likely an original as the former tend to be from counties / areas which had not used their allocation ie some Scottish areas. A beautiful looking ca...

Thanks. Mine was fitted by BL in Coventry to a 948 cc gold seal in 1979 so likely a later Valve.

Where did you get the PCV diaphragm please. Mine in my 1957 car may well need changing after 40 odd years.

Guildbass asks an interesting question. Do the chrome surround lids fit the later - and indeed earlier - apertures? I have always been told that the dashboard did not change in terms of basic pressing from October 1956 (Likely October 1954, later Series II) to the end of production. Changes were sim...

I saw several sets with the side entry distributor caps at the recent Newark auto jumble. That along with eBay seems the best bet.

If replacing, take care as there are several differing types according to model. All will fit, but it depends if you want the right one.

just to add to the confusion, I had an OEW Austin A35 years ago and the Holts (remember them?) rattle cans gave 2 shades for it - Old English Ivory White No.1 and OEIW No. 2. I could not tell the difference.

last time I looked there was no NMP plate either.

I have not used it myself, but it is supposed to be very effective t.

Ditto here on my Ford. No unoriginal letter but a pink reminder yesterday.

Earlier cars ie my 1957, did not have the separate fuse for the lights. Everything fused goes through the 35 A fuses.

Both fuses in the fuse box are 35A from memory

[quote="King Kenny" post_id=691817 time=1692107349 user_id=13200] Excuse the Mrs in her youth. This is my Traveller in around 1882. I had just fitted green corduroy panel covers. You can see the original cover board. although it may be upside down. It was a piece of hardboard with a folded...

Thanks to Colin Canter for these additional images from inside Saffron Walden Motors. Gary Seaman with his now dry and very beautiful K registration Austin-badged Minor Van. David Mitchell with 'Gulliver' (Gulliver's Travels - Traveller - Geddit ? No? Oh please yourselves!) restored by his father bu...

A local initiative to publicise the Saffron Walden Motor Show on the Common on the 13th of August. Uttlesford Branch have their local rally, attended by Essex, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and NLMMOC members as well, within the rally which is well attended by all sorts of vehicles and is a hop, skip and ...

All those panels are available. Nothing is beyond saving providing you have time, patience and a budget. I have seen much worse than that.

The legislation sits in the Zebra Pedestrian Crossings Regs of 1971. Useful for dating photos pre and post although there was a lag when installing the zig zag lines for the crossings. It introduced the concept of a 'zebra controlled area' denoted by the zig zag lines. The previous legislation was P...

A brief report from one day on the AMMF rally in. the Auvergne. 'This morning's jaunt was probably the best of any Morris Minor foreign tour EVER. Chris and Mary Hall arranged for us to go to the nearby racing circuit of La Charade, formerly used to host 4 French Grands Prix, Now curtailed from its ...

I got a bracket made up consisting of a shaped 'T' with the main oval the same size as the plate which is epoxy'd to the bracket and it uses the two central bumper bolts as fittings. I am still not sure the UK looks right on the Minor and would prefer a GB but such is life.

Mary has replied in her usual helpful, friendly and efficient manner. ZFE : Zone à Faibles Emissions = Low Emissions Zone Véhicules de Collection is the French term for classic vehicles, it includes any classic car registered in the UK with 'Historic' mentioned on the V5. Morris Minors or other clas...
